If you live in the UK, this is your reality today:

[as seen on tv]

The British government is scrambling to cope with "unprecendented" electric demand today.

the reason? people might keep their lights and tally's on longer than usual, to watch the vote. So to make sure the nation doesn't go dark, extra generating capacity must be quickly brought online (see link at bottom)

They live that close to the edge? People staying up late to watch election returns is a dire threat to the electric grid?

I have no idea how the vote will go but it would appear (what you linked to is a prime example) that the EU is a millstone around the neck of the country.

What is the point of staying? The Brits never gave up the pound for Euro's so why bother with the rest of it?
